Yes, you are right. I bought the roman video "rapid and complete opening
repertoire for black player", and could not believe that he was recommending the
phildor! I could have gotten the same advice from someone 100 years ago.

I am having some doubts about his black recommendation against e4, but I need a
second response to E4, other than the accellerated dragon (my normal defense).
